Mr. Tony Abram
After a week long investigation into comparing all similar laptops: 13inch ultrabooks with business performance, I thought this machine was the victor. The warranty wont cover me here in Asia, but I put that aside for such a great machine. Sadly, this machine is a dud, heres why: (1) I saw it in a youtube review but chose to disregard the information. yes, the screen really does wobble with normal typing. Ive used US$500 laptops that dont have that problem. It shakes around, especially if your table is a little shaky too (resonance). This problem alone is a deal breaker. (2) The battery life, or should I say death. Most online reviewers talked about 9-12 hours, with this Amazon page saying 22.5 hours average. Well, I got a measly 4-6 hours when browsing and some Skype calls. Imagine after a year, perhaps 2-3 hours. The whole long battery life sell is marketing total bs. I phoned HP support and said to expect 5-6 hours of normal use. (3) The keyboard design. Wow. With 4 keys for page controls on the right, the rest of the keys sit to the left meaning when you type, your head is not at the center of the screen if you sit straight on. Unacceptable ergonomics. On the plus, the machine ran fast, screen and sounds are awesome.
